THE CRAZY ROMANOFFS.
HOW Insanity Has Run Through the Entire Imperial Family.
 From London Society1

Entire Imperial Family
 [From London Society,"
 In the recently published memoirs Of Count Vitzthum, of Eckstadt, proofs are given of the hereditary character of the men tai disease which afflicted the imperial fami- ly of Russia. All the sons of Czar Paul l., like that unhappy monarch himself, who was murdered in 1901, became subject to fits of insanity. Paul I. had four sons-Czar Alex ander l., the Grand Duke Constantine, Czar Nicolas I. and the Grand Duke Michael. Every one of them, after his forty-fifth year, exhibited undoubted signs of mental de- rangement. This was not fully discovered in the case of Nicolas I. until after the Czar's death. An English physician, however, the count says, noticed the appearance of the hereditary disease in the Czar as early as July, 1853, and he then predicted that the monarch had not more that two years of life before him. This he stated in a letter to Lord Palmerston. The Emperor Nicolas died in March, 1855, about four months ear- Her than the date predicted. The count ap- pears to have no doubt that the Crimean war, so far as it depended on Nicolas, was the rash act of a ruler 'fwhose mental equipoise was disturbed" None of the four sons of Paul I. lived to be sixty years of age, and every one or them BuHor6Q rom COQCuSS1On of the brain after reaching his forty-fifth year.
 Alexander died at forty-eight, miserable man, moody and Respondent, as Prince. Met ternich has painted him, "tired of exist ence." His brother, the Grand Duke Con- stantine, though not 1nanifestly insane, gave frequent signs of mental disturbance, of which he was himself so plainly conscious that he did not think himself fit to be trusted with the reins of government. His conduct in the year 1880, at the outbreak of the revolution in Warsaw, will remain to prove his mental unsoundness. He had to be intrusted to the care of his wife, the Princess Lowicz, who was cautioned in the same way as is a physician in charge of a patient having intermittent fits of insanity. He died in his fifty-second year from con- gestion of the brain. The Grand Duke Michael was killed by a fall from his horse at the age of forty-eight. Some years be- fore his death he had exhibited signs of undoubted mental disease, and his physi- clans declared that he was on the road to certain insanity. The events of 1S48-52 were not calculated to allay the hereditary dispositions of the imperial family of Rus sia, but to excite and intensity them. There is something terrible in the contrast between the outward position of the Czar Nicolas, upon the bent of whose will the fate of 50 many millions in Europe was depending, and the alleged diseased inward condition of his mind.

Horses Ages.

From an EngilSh EXchange.
 On the subject of horses ages I have re- ceived heap of letters, few of which, how ever, relate to horses or ponies of more than forty, while all that do, or almost all, quote hearsay accounts. From bennington Mr. M. T. Ward writes: "A Devonshire gentleman, whom I know we'll, possesses a pony aged forty-two years. It was bred by York about its age, as it is exactly the same as the baronet's daughter. The pony is still, be- lieve, in good health, and only few weeks ago saw the gentleman driving it in a car- riage." MT. Arthur Measham, from Rhyl also seems to have an authentic story: ''In the year 1851 I was staying at the house of 8 relation in Scotland-Cunnoquhic in Fife shire, and saw 8 pony grazing in the park that was at the battle of Waterloo. This pony lived for two years afterwards, and if it was four years old at Waterloo it's age in 1858 would be forty-two years" My friend, Mr. Sturgess, also kindly sends me the fol- lowing: 'I once painted horse, and was assured that he was vertically upwards of six ty years old. He had been a good-looking chestnut, but was then nothing but skin and bone; teeth all gone. His picture was his death warrant, for he was led away from the
 
 he was buried the same evening""
 On the other side of the Atlantic the ques- tion of horses ages has lately been discussed, and concerning it the Texas Farm and Ranche says: "A horses life with moderate care and good usage, is protracted to twenty five, thlrty-hve or forty years. A gentleman at Dulwich, near London, had the monu- ments of three horses who had severally died in his possession at the ages of thirty five, thtrty-seven and thirty nine years The old est it is to be remarked. was in a carriage the very day he died, strong and vigorous, but was carried off in a spasmodie collie, to which he was subject. At Chesham, in Buckinghamshire, there was a horse thirty six years old, which exhibited no symptoms of debility nor any external signs of age, ex- cept being nearly covered with warts It was remarkable with regard to this four footed Nestor that when an unusually hard days work was required he was chosen as never failing in what was expected of him. A horse named Wonder, formerly belonging to the riding school at Woolwich, may be quoted as living to forty years MT. Culley, in his Observations on Live Stock, men, tions one he knew which lived to forty-seven years, having sll the time ball in his neck, received in the battle of Preston Pans, in the rebellion of 1715, which was extracted at his death in 175S; thus, judging him to be four years old at the time he received the wound (and it was probable he was more), he must at his death have been forty y-seven. But even these venerables were mere babies to the barge horse of the Mersey and Irwell navigation, which was well known to have been in his siXty-seeond year when he died.n should want good evidence about the age of this sixty one-y year-old!

SOME GOOD ADVICE.


 The Providence Journal, undeterred by the heat, is discussing the political situation, and it is discussing it in way that deserves attention. It rightly says that there is no time when it is safe to neglect the principle of economy, of honest government, of adap- tation of the laws to the circumstances of the hour, or of the selection for office of men of integrity as well as ability. "The solid South notwithstanding, it is doubtless the fact that the majority of the people of this country are in accord with Republican policy as to the matters of the tariff, the currency and civil service reform. When it is said that there are no vital issues, as between the Republican and Democratic parties, 1t can only considerably be said, upon the assump tion that there is large Democratic minor ity in favor of a reasonably protective tariff, of maintaining in substance our banking system, and the truthfulness of our coinage, and of the enlargement of the scope of civil service reform"
 The fact that parties are not so much judged by what they say as by what they do, and by the men they put forward, is now, as the Journal points out, most conspicuously exemplifed iD Ohio, where the Democrats seek to recover their position in the State by the use of the name of Judge Thurman as candidate for governor. In their pride of power the less able and conscientious Demo- crats ignored both Thurman and Pendleton. They see their mistake too late. :fAs in Ohio, 80 all over the country. In the mad rush of national convention even, neither party will dare in 1888 to put man in nomination whose nomination will put the party as to him personally on the defensive. That is to say, it is recognized that no mere form of words in the platform will suffice without question to elect one who is, or is believed to be, morally unfit for the presi- dency. For this there are two sufficient reasons. The parties are too equally divided and there is an independent vote which is not to be held on either side against it's con- victions of what is right, honest, essential and patriotic"
 These are true words, and it will be well for the Republican party if the ideas under- lying them find general acceptance.

concludes 8 review of one year of the prohi
 bitory law in Rhode Island: What has been
 accomplished under prohibition9 Is there

Has any money been l diverted from beer to breads Here, again | we require further information. Are there any fewer drunken women2 Are there any fewer drunken minorss Sellers appear to be as conscienceless in selling to those two classes as they were under license. They broke the law then and they do 80 now, and people let them break it now as then. To sum up, then, nothing has been accom- plished.
 Cremation is making much more progress in Europe than in this country Italy, Ger many, Austria, France, Spain, England, Bel gium, Holland Denmark Sweden and Switzer- land all have hourishing societies organized for this purpose; all report the rapid increase of incineration in public favor, the upspring- ing of new crematories in various cities and close scientific investigation into methods of technical procedure. In some of those countries, indeed, as in Italy and Holland, the societies are so numerous that they have formed national unions and frequently meet in congresses. In Italy more than eight hundred bodies have been thus far reduced to ashes, over two hundred of them last year, though cremation is not yet legal there Nor has the English Parliament given it's sanc- tion to this reform The cremationists there have, however, successfully established their rights by applying to the courts, and it was recently announced that as a result more than sixty cremations have been made in one parish near London.

PROF. GRAY's TELAUTOGRAPH.
With 1t a Man Can Sign a Cheek {
 Thousand Miles Away.

From the Chicago Tribune.l
 Professor Elisha Gray, of telephone fame,
 is perfecting an invention with wonderful
 possibilities, and one which promises great
 results. It has already reached that stage
 which insures it's practical success, the
 experiments thus far proving eminently sat
 isfactory. The "telautograph' is the name by which the instrument will be known, which by the way conveys a very fair idea of what the instrument really is. Once in ope- ration it will be possible for the Chicago speculator to deliver to his New York broker telautographic order to buy or sell one thousand or ten thousand shares of railroad stock, an exact fac-simile of the order be- ing reproduced in that city at the same instant it is written here. If the Chicago man happens to be in New York and wants to send his wife check for money he simply writes it out in that city, and the moment he is through it is in his wife's hands here. The electric current of course is an important factor in the invention, but the chief feature is the plate or instrument on which the wri- ting is done. No particular kind of pen or pencil has to be used; in fact 8 sharp pointed instrument of any kind, or even a piece of wood, will answer the purpose. The paper on which the writing is done and the auto graph reproduced does not have to be pre- pared, for in the first instance it is the pres sure on the plate which gives the impulse to the machine, while the reproduction is brought about by tracing point, which may be properly linked pen or even an ordinary lead pencil attached to movable arm in the
 receiving machine at the other end of the line.
 A number of experiments with the ma cLine have been made at Highland Park, where Professor Gray's laboratory is, all ot
 them of the most satisfactory character. The
 circuit was not a very long one, but the tests
 were of that kind which indicated that the
 length of the circuit did not matter much, and that the work could be done over one thousand miles of wire as perfectly as over one hundred. Professor Gray has not yer applied for patents on the invention, but It ts fully covered by caveats, so that he has re- moved the injunction of secrecy and feels free to talk upon the subject with his friends. He is inclined to think the machine will be required in all cases where absolute accuracy in the delivery and filling of an order is re- quired, and that it will eventually supersede the present system of telegraphic communl- cation; in fact that an operator will simply
 transeribe message, and while in the act ot so doing will wire it to any point on the con tinent, the reproduction at the other point always being fac-simile of the writing of the person st the machine

May do, for stupid boys excuse but what can be said for the parent who sees his child languishing daily and fails to recognize the want of a tonic and blood purifier? Formerly, course of bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the rule in well-regulated families but now all intelligent households keep Ayers SarsaparilIa, which is at once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered.
 Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton st., Boston, writes ' My daughter, now 21 wears old, was in perfect health until year ago when she began to complain of fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness, indigestion, and loss of appetite, 1 con cIuded that all her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time reestab- Tshed her former health. I find Ayers Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for the Iassitude and debility incident to spring time"
 T. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co, Brooklyn, N. Y, says: "As Spring Medicine, I find splendid substitute for the old-time compounds in Ayers Sarsaparilla, with a few doses of Ayers Pills. After their use, I feel fresher and stronger to go through the summer" Ayers Sarsaparilla,
